I'm open for suggestions on upgrades for the parts I already have.

For the motherboard, I've found this:
amazon.co.uk/Asus-P8Z68-DELUXE-GEN3-Motherboard/dp/B005T3TL4E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1330811725&sr=8-2
Which looks very good to me as it has what I need but is this overkill?
I can't post links yet.
